The Kakistocracy of Sea Horses is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 14.011 billion Sea Horsesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sea Horsesian economy, worth 210 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 14,989 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sea Horses's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sea Horses is ranked 271,223rd in the world and 1st in Psychedelic for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -5.29 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
